I could change 'doff' to 'th_off' in rpc.c:351, which is the name used
in the BSD version of 'struct tcphdr', but then I'd have to define the
macro __FAVOR_BSD in order to get the code to compile with uClibc (in
contrast to musl, uClibc only exposes the GNU version by default).

So, I don't see any advantages in doing that (changing the member name
+ defining __FAVOR_BSD) instead of simply defining _GNU_SOURCE.
Besides, I've noticed that a similar issue has been solved before by
using the same approach (commit
fe1f2d58add1e56e651c43de8cd60db8123d49bb).

Regards,
Rodrigo
